Description

Focusing on John Foxe, Christopher Marlowe, William Shakespeare, John Webster and John Milton, David Anderson argues that the English tragedians reflected an unease within the culture to acts of religious violence. The link is explored between the unstable emotional response of society to religious executions in the Tudor-Stuart period, and the revival of tragic drama as a major cultural form for the first time since classical antiquity.
